in the cavalry stables on the northeast
corner of the citadel, and gil the horses,
twenty-siX in number, were either burned
or suffOCated The fire from this point
spread to the western portion OF
the frontage, and speedily made its
way toward the main entrance, destroy
ing il its course the ammunition wagons

such campaigns IS that in the northwest,
and innumerGOle stores, etc, were entire
IL consumed. The ti-e then made its way
across the main entrance and is low

the end of the track is within four or tive
miles OF the meridian line, and from late
reports Ihe trsckieying is proceeding in
good shape st the rate of about mile 3
